Not half bad, not at all!

That should make for an interesting fall, full of corner hopping

Count me in!

I'm hoping this leads to a general move towards access to public lands across the west. Especially river access as in Montana, also landlocked or public with impossible access.

Pretty important ruling in Federal Court, that if stands appeals process will be a huge impact for opening up more pubpic lands.

Wonder if Sitka or Kuiu will start making ladders

Great news if this survives appeals. Will affect demand for many hunt units. Does not affect my hunts this fall. My units are pretty contiguous public.

Hell yes! Guess now the cowardly YouTube, social media hunters have new content they can produce!

Great outcome! So glad to see a bullying landowner put in his place when trying to claim something that wasn't his.

Keep in mind it is ONLY wyoming and ONLY if there is no other way, even inconvenient access. The corner has to be the only way in

Tread lightly

Where did the ruling say that?

Where did the ruling say that?

Which part? It's a WY court so uts only WY. In his document he mentions no other reasonable access.

But that doesn’t mean what you stated. You published your own interpretation as his ruling.

Which part the WY only or the other access? Granted I am not a lawyer, this is 2nd hand interpretation from a friend who is a lawyer

What is your interpretation?

What is your interpretation?

That the 4 were successful in a summary judgment of not guilty of civil trespass.

That doesn’t mean there is arbitrary rules of how or what is / isn’t allowed.

Making up and posting statements on what is, while it’s still in limbo is dangerous and bad practice. Each individual decision has consequences that the individual has to make on their own based on their level of risk.

Incorrect, it's a federal court, not state (district) court.

Crossing from public to public at a corner is not trespassing is what was said. Doesn't make any difference if there's another way to access that particular section.
